SHUT THE DOOR OF HOPE

SHUT THE DOOR OF HOPE
upon the tenants. His deliberate con-
viction was that there never had been a
more wanton, gratuitous and upjus-
tiiable resort to the ever-failing, ever
poisonous remedy of coercion. CHEERS. }
Mr.. Balfour accused Mr.. Morley of
bestowing adverse criticisms and in
vectives upon measure that was as
vet unknown. Gladstone, in 1881, told
the House to consider not only the
amount Of crime, but its character and
what 1t was aimed at. The bill
had been forced upon the govern
ment because OF the present current Of
crime was aimed st the subversiou of
the laws. the basis of order. 1t was
beside the question to tell the House
that there were some bad landlords who
oppressed the poor.
THIS MUST BE EXPECTED,
while human nature remains what it is.
Referring to the land legislation of the
late government, Balfour characterized
it as humiliating failure. The CONVEX
sion of a section of the Liberals
to home rule was due to that
failure. The land bill about to
be introduced will make the working
of the act of 1881 far smoother and
give equitable relief to the tenants.

that the measures would solve the land
question. The only solution of that
was in great measure dealing with the
land purchase, which government was

(Cheers.( In the meantime, what
chance was there of restoration of the
sanctity of contracts or respect for law
in Ireland unless the government was
about to enforce thelaw? The leaders
of the opposition, though now con-
verted into friends OF the National
League, knew that it was
COMBINATION AIMING AT ILLEGAL ENDS,
through terrorism. What hope was
there for any scheme for purchase if, at
the bidding of the League, solemn
compact, entered into under the legis-
lation of 1881, was to be deliberately
broken? If Parliament suffered that
compact to be set at naught, then the
serious compact of settlement OF the
land difficulty might be broken also.
Every man who wished to stop short
of separation would be perfectly mad if
he allowed the policy of Mr.. Morley.
Let the government have the power to
vindicate the existing law and then
respect for future legislation would be
insured. (Cheers.)
Though neither Mr.. Smith, nor Mr..
Balfour gave any explicit statement
of the governments Irish measure
to-day, al analysis of their speeches
disclosed the fact that
THE DANTE POLICY,
has been decided upon and fully
elaborated covering all the legislation
for Ireland that government viii offer
or consent to propose. The programme
will open with the coercion bill, con-
iointed with the tenants relief bill, to
be introduced in the House of Lords
next week. The relief proposals viii
consist OF giving tenants the power to
stay actions, by declaring their in
ability to pay full rent, wiping outthe
claim by surrender to the bank
ruptcy court. The grand measure for
land purchase will follow. This
measure is now known to
be based upon Mr.. Chamberiain's
bank scheme. If government should
be defeated in any point in the develop
ment of their policy, they will not re-
sign, but will appeal to the country.
The confident tone of the minlsterialists
confirms the generally accepted report
that Chamberlain and Lord Harrington
assisted in building the scheme and
will approve the final structure.
